my parents in law stay with me for few years already. my kitchen already covered with a layer of grease, coz my mil not the type who wil clean the kitchen aft cooking. wanted to get one time spring cleanin service since CL coming n bb shower wil hav guests etc, but ended up she made weird comments like we spending unnecessary money. sianz.
i used to be the regular helper, cleanin the stove n tiles when i wash the dishes. but since pregnant i no longer doing that often esp the wall tiles. i just keep both eyes shut n mouth shut on d grease...but now a bit difficult, coz i tink CL will surely make some comments when she enters the kitchen. one kitchen cannot hold 2 women mah. hahaha. i really am thinkin too much.
Rose maybe get a part time helper so that u have someone help u do regular cleaning even after Bb arrive coz with Bb u maybe too busy to do cleaning after ur inlaw next time. Take it easy when u spring clean this weekend dun overtire urself
Pandawife ur bbs active from 3am to 9am.. Wow!! Mine sleeping now....During confinement have to close 1 eye.... I scared my confinement lady mess up my kitchen . Hehehe after all she is a stranger ... Really dunno what to expect.

Pandawife, is your maid here already?
Rose, get a part time helper lah. Just tell yr mil it's yr relatives ' helper. Then u pay her under table. See can bluff your way through or not.
Gan, aiyo today only 18th. I will try to tong until 29th. Actually dr loh mentioned he is flying back on 26th. Think he is taking more leaves to recharge myself.

I understand that the uterus will contracts after birth. Wa, can be quite painful some times. More painful than now c sect wound ... Feels like very very bad mentrual cramps. Is it supposed to be like that ? Or caused of twins my uterus was bigger so more painful ? Pls advise thanks
working wife
I was quite " metal teeth" when comes to bathing n washing hair before I gave birth. But after I see my babies and everyone in the family so busy taking care of bbs my wellbeing.. I just follow instructions but did improvise a bit.
No shower just wipe myself with warm water everyday. No hair washing too for first 12 days but use dry shampoo. Mum says cannot touch raw tap water but most of the time forgot.
Trying to lie down most of the time but hear bb cry I wanna go carry them .. Can't miss their first few weeks of growing too right ? Was thinking by the time confinement ends, they would be one month old ! I Dunna miss their first few weeks too. But I will lie down n rest once they are zzzing too.
DOM
I dun take caused dr's nurse told me for c sect better avoid drinking. Will cause more bleeding so I avoid. My confinement food does contain wine n all that and that's okay.

Skies, thanks for the advice. Can see yr bb girls growing bigger thru yr FB photos
so how do u feel abt motherhood now? Remember b4 delivery u were rather apprehensive, and worried abt how u will cope. I think thats normal feeling for all mtbs. How do u feel now?
Panda , yeah I wont drink the alcohol direct also. Don't even like it in the first place!
For now thinking is epi. But depends on doc cuz I hv been on drips for long, dunno if he will say better to do GA so not so stressful to the heart. But I hope can do epi. Once in a lifetime (for now lah unless God bless us w third kid
)
So good u got a date to look forward to! For me I'm just counting down to Dr's return, not sure also if that is the date. At the same time, I do feel more tightening and contractions these two days but drip has to remain at 4-10u, doc don't allow to go higher. He said as time goes by sure will feel more cus tummy getting heavier n bbs are bigger inside. So for me, the date is really up in the air. Just now targeting Dr's return that's all. My bbs finally gonna be 2010 or 2011 bbs also don't know
Baby79,
Hey can post yr bb photos here since no FB? Wanna see leh yr princesses

Oh gan, remember to ask for epidural early enuf if u want. I've seen enuf cases here where mom trying to be hero by the time ask for epi too late ady. Or some moan in pain for few hours then finally give in to epi. Then those who take epi early enuf can lie there chit chat w hubby n read magazine. u need to reserve yr energy to push!
Jia you!

Ya mann... The contraction pain really no joke... The pain is there even when i go pee... I even need to clench my fist when the contraction happens... Initially i tot its my wound causing the pain... Then after that realise the pain comes from inside the uterus... Cos i go pee after i pump milk... Tats y my tummy so pain when i go pee...
But now its ok liao after 2 weeks... So u endure a little while longer ok... Soon it will be over...
My bf still not too good leh... Mostly can only pump out abt 60ml... If i drag longer to pump can pump out abt 80ml... Also not enough for my twins... So for night feeds.. Cl give them fm... Then during the day time if got bm then feed them bm...
U aldy v good lo.. Got 100ml... Somemore its only initial phase for u.. Aldy got 100ml... V good!
I always wake up every 3hrs at night time.. V tiring... But always got to tell myself its for my darlings... Then i will wake up hehe... Else if i dont wake up... The amt of bm is worst mann...
Hows yr princes doing so far now? Whats their weight when they discharge?
Btw my cl say cannot eat liver.. Esp for those who went thru c sect and bf... I nvr hear this before... But i nvr eat cos she nvr cook for me...

yes when peeing also feel the pain. I hold on to the side of the toilet like about to give birth haha.. Didn't expect pain till such extend. Hopefully will improve like u said.
U so hardworking wake up at night too. Maybe I should try again tonight see can wake up or not. My boys also take fm at night. Currently I have cl, mum come day time n hb on leave to help. If not can faintzz .... When both cry at the same time n need to feed, like fighting a mini war haha ....
They lost abt 10 per cent of their weight. Then in one week gain back that 10 per cent. They saw pd on day 7 for jaundice so wt was measured. 2.7kg n 2.4kg
My maid not here yet maybe Monday. Hope she come soon so my mum can rest more. Ur maid sounds good. Like u, slow is okay but must be clean. U r lucky to have such a good maid. Quite auto
U planning for first month celebration already ? We can't decide. If invite everyone, then will have to be big celebration. at some restaurant or ballroom. If small only few family
members, then can do at home. What's ur plan ? Btw where u intend to bring them for vaccinations ?

I took DOM in my last confinement, but not immediately, only when 2 wks into it. This time after delivery will do the same. Only a small cup, its alright, up to individual.

Didn't know womb contraction is painful. Didn't feel that in my last pregancy. Maybe try to keep your tummy warm.
